I don't know where the owls are. Maybe I just didn't notice them, after all, I was showing people around for most of the day. We have some hawks and some waterfowl and some rodos and modos. A typical day, in other words.
We have a new collection of preserved echinoderms (which are basically what happens when you split off from the same ancestors as chordates and evolve in a completly different direction, eschewing things like intelligence and senses in favor of regenerative powers Wolverine could only dream of), specifically, some kind of starfish (To me, it looks like an Asterias rubens), a sea cucumber, a sand dollar, and a sea urchin, along with a pickle jar filled with squid eggs.
Kelly has two guinea pigs named Rick and Morty. Ironically, Rick is shy and Morty is gregarious and adventurous.
A guy has rats named Sylvie, Edie, and something I've forgotten. One of them climbed up my arm and my back.
A man had the biggest boa constrictor I've ever seen. Not the biggest snakes; I've seen someone's Burmese python and the aquarium has an anaconda.
A woman had a plated lizard that she found in her garden.
Bernie's running for president because of course he is. It's going to be a long two years.
burning question: someone said of the sitcom Heil Honey, I’m Home, “Anything that trivialises Hitler is to be deplored. Someone who caused so much human misery and grief is not really a fit subject for humour and trivialisation.” But on the other hand, Mel Brooks wanted to make Hitler an object of ridicule so that nobody would ever take his ideas seriously ever again. On the other other hand, Trump is a buffoon and people take him seriously. Who do you agree with?
